RE: Best "exotic" 2W resistors...?

Posted by Lew on November 13, 2016 at 17:44:36:
Would never pay the price for a Dueland resistor. That said, I would go 2W Mills if you've got room (they are big) or tantalum, but I am not at all sure that you can get a 2W tantalum. Biggest I know about for sure is 1W. Use two 1W tants of equal value in parallel, if you need 2W dissipation.
